For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "Saved my life is an understatement. I suffered so badly with morning sickness with my first daughter, and Zofran didn’t work at all. I was sick the whole 8 months. With this pregnancy, I experienced HG again, but this medicine literally gives me my life back. It does make me a little sleepy, but I’ll take sleepy over nonstop heartburn and vomiting any day."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "At 10-25 weeks, my nausea never let up. When I say nausea, I actually mean vomiting. Every other day, I knew my meals were not going to end well. I expected this during the first trimester, but upon approaching my third trimester, I knew something had to give. I don't expect any drug to work tremendously during the first trimester. Since nausea/vomiting is supposed to 'return' during the third trimester, I decided to try this as the baby is now more developed. It worked wonderfully; I have been on it for one week and can now eat with confidence! I still have some mild, although less, heartburn. This is the only reason I rated 9/10. It would truly be a miracle drug if it could get rid of the heartburn I developed during pregnancy too!"

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I wouldn't suggest taking Diclegis again. The first time I tried it, I had heartburn that I haven't experienced in this pregnancy, and my heart raced uncontrollably bad that I felt like I was dying. I followed the instructions that they gave me, and I threw it up 30 minutes after taking it. I'm afraid that it can harm the baby. I'm not taking it anymore. Never want to feel like that again. I have a terrible headache now. Worst experience ever."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "My doctor recommended this for my morning sickness. I was desperate to control the vomiting because I needed to go to work. I got extreme heartburn when I eat, no matter what. Eating was painful. If I skipped a dose, I would vomit uncontrollably. It was horrible. One day I threw up blood. I had noticed prior times that it seemed like blood spots, but I thought it was only in my head. By my 7th month of pregnancy, I still felt horrible and could not get off the pills. I started to feel chest pains. One night I woke up from the pain in my arm and chest. Very scary. I stopped taking the medicine that day."
